Tectonic Acts of Desire and Doubt

Tectonic Acts of Desire and Doubt

Following its title, the book is broken down into three sections: Tectonic, Acts, Desires and Doubts. In each, Rakatansky covers a series of subjects, from Louis Kahn's relationship to the brick to a more general polemic involving identity and politics in contemporary architecture, and in a writerly voice that varies from the third-person narrative of the scholarly essay to the transcript of an email exchange with fellow academic Sarah Whiting, discussing two recent books by architect Greg Lynn.

We are currently having problems with the website: books are falling into the wrong categories. We are working on fixing this but in the meantime please disregard any strange anomalies you might come across. You can still search by title, author and ISBN.
